Don’t worry; you won’t pay more than you’re ready to spend. Facebook lets you control your budget – you set your limit and the ad will be promoted to your target audience until that limit is reached. If you don’t think this campaign is producing the expected results, you can put it on pause and change something to make the video more captivating. If you notice it’s extremely successful, you can update your budget once it’s spent.

Anyway, before you terminate your contract and become a full-time affiliate-come-backpacker, launch it as a side project and put in some non-passive work. Supplement your income and see if and how the affiliate marketing business works for you.

For sure. I would also add you do not want ALL of your videos to be the picture style. It is often best to mix it up. Keeps it fresh you know… Also make sure that pictures that you grab are ones that you actually have right for.

Hey, thanks for the great post. I’ve been following Pat Flynn and love his “give and it shall be given unto you” attitude..my perception anyway. At 50, with a high school education, I’m trying to learn affiliate marketing from information online. What I’ve gleened so far is to focus on giving the best, most honest information, like your Parents would give you. In exchange for your efforts rewards will come.

Sean. Wow so much information to take in, really helpful, It’s nice to know that blog owners have many ways to earn extra income while they blog about what like. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy reading this long full of information post. Will definately come back soon! Thanks!

When we created a bold TV concept perfect for socialization and participation, Facebook and Instagram provided the ideal platforms to vastly extend the reach of our video and our audience’s excitement.

These individuals and thousands of others have entrusted us with teaching them how to effectively use social media to gain real results. Now it’s your turn to put your trust in us, what do you have to lose?

I received an email from Amazon stating that they would not longer give commissions on books which also sold on other websites. I suspect this was a response to their losing a suit involving them trying to control the ebook price market. It would force authors to remove their titles from other sites.

You’re good and you’re passionate but if you’ve found your way to thePTDC my guess is that something’s missing. Either you want to service your clients better or you’re having trouble succeeding in the industry.

Once you’ve created your video, it’s time to set up your Facebook video ad campaign. Setting up a video ad on Facebook is relatively straight-forward process, especially if you’re used to setting up normal Facebook ads. Facebook does a good job of walking you through the process of setting up the campaign through either the Ad Manager or the Power Editor. Here are the basic steps you need to go through:

There are a few networks like Viglink and Skimlinks which automatically convert normal links into affiliate links. They use Javascript so it’s SEO friendly, and you do not need to sign up for an individual affiliate program.

The first thing to do is to join an affiliate program then select the products you intend to sell. The owners of the products would provide you with an affiliate code you can use for referring traffic to the main site. Also, you will be offered banners, text links and several forms of creative copies in which you just copy and paste the code on your own site to refer traffic. Any interested customer who clicks on the links from your website will be redirected to the main site where the product is sold and if they pay for the product or subscribe to a program/service and indicate you as the referral, you get a certain percentage as commission.

Diversify. Use PPC, CPM and CPA ads as one of your many streams of income. Even if you don’t get a whole lot of money, a little is better than none. There’s nothing that says you can’t start advertising now, even if your traffic isn’t huge. In fact, it might be even better so you can work the kinks out of your system while your blog is still small.

In a nutshell you make money on YouTube by becoming a YouTube partner, which allows you to display ads on your videos, and then you earn a percentage of the revenues generated by clicks on those ads, much like with AdSense. As for how much money you can actually make, I heard numbers anywhere from $3 up to $10 per 1,000 video views.

Create a website about the topic that you have chosen. The key to succeeding with affiliate programs is to build a content-rich website with useful information built around a specific theme. Don’t just lazily throw up a quick site or blog and string a bunch of affiliate links all over your pages. You have to start by building credibility, and the best way to do that is to write about something you know a lot about.

I wonder how to i start this site ? I cannot publish any content till i get approved for the at least one affiliate marketing program ; however eRetailers would want to review my website before they approve me ? It seems like a chicken and egg situation.

Affiliate Links – adding affiliate links in your content (text/images/buttons) is the only strategy I use and is the most popular. People who actually read your stuff are the ones likely to buy something you recommend – they’re probably not going to click on a distracting banner ad.

Hello, I was reading your blog and I am interested in the topic. I commented that I am somewhat familiar with the subject of the sale, but it was evaluating the possibility to enrol in the course for $10, it is not expensive. But before I know if it is possible that within the course you show me where to buy the products that you sell. I say this, since you post that you are selling more than 3000 products, but I would like to know where to buy best precious for sale on amazon.

This book starts with the history and benefits of affiliate marketing, but then gets into more beefy parts about various web sites and the work one needs to do to make this program work for you. The bullet list format makes it a quick determination what is relevant for what you want to do and what is not.

If you are looking to learn these skills i would suggest to go f0r any social media marketing course where you will learn facebook, twitter & linkedin marketing. I would suggest you one of the best online social media course conducted by digital vidya where you will be covered every aspect of social media or facebook marketing.

They also have the advantage that the merchant is often an individual rather than a company, so you can build a personal relationship with them that will increase your status as a blogger and future success as an affiliate.

If you go to the “Audience Insights” page in the Facebook Ads Manager, you can play around with the different options to define your target audience. you have a pretty good idea about who your target market is based on your buyer persona research, but finding the best audience for your video ads might require a few attempts. This is a prime opportunity to really confirm your optimal target audience. What target audience has the highest CTR? What target audience has the highest LTV? Use the data you get from your campaigns to evaluate both your Facebook campaigns and your larger marketing strategy.

Learn SEO yourself or hire a good SEO marketer to help you maximize on-page and off-page SEO opportunities for your site. If your site starts to appear in search results for terms relevant to your niche, it will be a huge boost towards building your audience (and your sales)!

I am hoping that I can try to use some your excellent advice from your post with other affiliate programs, even though I haven’t found many other affiliate plans offering similar options that Amazon does.

Thats a great point, and I’ve definitely seen my fair share of those “how to start a blog” posts. That’s always been a good fit for people at Location 180, and if they do a good job on the post (truly make it useful) that’s one that doesnt bother me as much – solely because I know how valuable starting a blog can be for your life and goals. So if it’s some personal finance blogger that creates one and you start a blog from that by following their tutorial – all the better!

I searched on Google to find a way to make money as an affiliate marketer. This website is well-constructed and you spoke very clearly. You laid the foundation down for most people to understand, if they have basic reading skills. I never knew how to create a landing page until I came on this site. A whole lot is what I’m learning from this website of yours. Great Job!

Then schedule your Facebook videos to go out at the best time to gain maximum eyeballs with Best Time Scheduling. To schedule, your posts at the best time go to the drop-down menu in your post and select Best Time:

Intermediate Affiliates: Focuses on high volume traffic sources with smaller margins than the Beginner, but more volume. Obscenely clustered around the dating niche (and more recently adult dating). High competition on large traffic sources reduces the size of the pie for all. Smart movers in this category target mobile marketing and pop traffic.

Although the 8% commission may be a little high, and there is no guarantee that this many people will actually purchase the product within the affiliate window, it does illustrate that there is a great opportunity for affiliate links on Youtube.

Hey Courtney, I haven’t had any websites impacted with the update actually. I also don’t really even think about or care about keyword density in my articles either. My recommendation is to remember that Google’s goal is to provide the best search results and if your goal is to make a website that is genuinely better than the website currently ranking in the first position that the rest will follow (particularly if you’re going after an authority website approach)

2-tier affiliate marketing: This is a great way of making money from an affiliate program. With this method, you recommend that others join affiliate programs, and you receive a commission when a sub-affiliate makes a sale (similar to MLM or multi-level marketing). This income is also known as a sub-affiliate commission.

Even if you’re selling thousands of items a month, you’re still making less than a 10% commission. Because of this, I know a ton of people who make a little bit of money off of Amazon, but few who make thousands.

hi, I’m new to this. I have a question. So when you share your Amazon affiliate link and someone clicks on the link and they decide they don’t want to purchase that specific Item, but do buy a different item through your affiliate link, do you get commission? or is that only if you have a website and they purchased though your website?

Here’s my take: I have gained a huge amount of knowledge from bloggers who have offered free expertise and information on their blogs over the years. I am so grateful for the time they took to put it all online so I could personally benefit from it. Knowing how much time and energy it takes to compile all the information and present it in a way that is simple for me to use and easily accessible, it seems quite reasonable to me that they should be compensated in some way. They are truly providing me a service that is making my life better and in other offline areas of life, I’m more than willing to pay for great services as well. In the end, I’d much prefer the information to be freely available and their compensation come from affiliate programs (which doesn’t cost me anything major), than for the information to be something I have to pay directly for (and thus compensate them that way).

If the above locations do not yield information pertaining to affiliates, it may be the case that there exists a non-public affiliate program. Utilizing one of the common website correlation methods may provide clues about the affiliate network. The most definitive method for finding this information is to contact the website owner directly if a contact method can be located.

It has been over a year since we first asked this question, and even though there still aren’t any definitive answers from YouTube or Amazon, a lot has changed and there are even more examples of people intelligently leveraging affiliate links on their YouTube channels. When used correctly, affiliate links in YouTube are a fantastic way to provide even more value to your viewers as well as earn some extra affiliate revenue. In fact, a recent Quora article we found shows that oftentimes this “extra affiliate revenue” can actually be a very significant amount!

Cost per mille requires only that the publisher make the advertising available on his or her website and display it to the page visitors in order to receive a commission. Pay per click requires one additional step in the conversion process to generate revenue for the publisher: A visitor must not only be made aware of the advertisement but must also click on the advertisement to visit the advertiser’s website.

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular monetization techniques for niche publishers in 2014, being used by hundreds of thousands of sites in a wide variety of verticals. Affiliate marketing is popular for a number of reasons, including the potential for success with a relatively small audience and the deep pool of affiliate partners willing to pay to acquire new customers.

My first full time personal training job definitely didn’t start with a bang. I had a Kinesiology degree and 3 years experience working in a University gym. Exercise was my passion. The soviets would have been proud by my periodization methods and I could spit the latest research on muscle physiology for hours.

The affiliate-marketing industry is growing steadily. An independent survey commissioned by Rakuten Affiliate Network found that affiliate marketing is set to reach $6.8 billion by 2020. Ninety percent of advertisers included in the survey said that affiliate programs were important or very important to their overall marketing strategy, with the majority of publishers reporting that affiliate partnerships drove more than 20% of annual revenue.

On top of flexibility in sharing, HubPages has affiliate programs built right into their platform. As a ‘Hubber,’ you can easily take part in the HubPages Amazon Program and their eBay Program, too. This means you can create hubs that are almost instantly set up to be monetized!

The niche you choose might draw enough interest from your audience when it comes to reading and acquiring knowledge, but are they willing to buy relevant products too? Without consumer interest in products, your niche isn’t going to make you much money.

If you have a Twitter account, and want to earn money from Amazon with your affiliate link, simply grab the link to the product, and shorten it, using a service like bit.ly. This lets you share the link quickly on Twitter, while still giving your followers the same benefit as if you sent them the full, long link.

Affiliate marketing is frequently overlooked by advertisers.[2] While search engines, e-mail, and web site syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers’ marketing strategies.[citation needed]

Choose products or services that are relevant to your niche. If your site is about children’s books and you promote car insurance, at best you’ll look like you don’t know what you’re doing and at worst, you’ll be branded a “spammer.” Once you develop a bad reputation as a spammer or an “out to make a quick buck” type of affiliate marketer, it’s incredibly difficult to go back. Start out with high standards and you’ll be fine. Simply put, promoting bad stuff makes you look bad and will hurt you in the long run.

With social media platforms, and Facebook in particular, moving at an astonishing rate, the need to keep abreast of changes both from an algorithmic and technical perspective are a constant requirement for agency staff and in-house Facebook Page admin managers. What was previously the perfect acquisition and engagement piece is now considered outdated or gauche and may even be penalised by the ever evolving Edgerank algorithm. Understanding what’s “working” RIGHT NOW is essential – and that changes so frequently that our slide decks are substantially updated each time we present this course.

Here is the main problem: if you’re still new to this (and we all are), it won’t be enough for you to read Facebook’s instructions for posting videos. You need a strategy that will help you gain the greatest advantages from this opportunity.

When visitors clicked on the associate’s website to go to Amazon and purchase a book, the associate received a commission. Amazon was not the first merchant to offer an affiliate program, but its program was the first to become widely known and serve as a model for subsequent programs.[12][13]

PRO TIP: Remember to do keyword research so that you know if there is sufficient search traffic. It is probably not worth your time to create a video for a search query that only gets 20 searches per month.

With mobile video, marketers can make deeper emotional connections than ever. But there’s an art to storytelling on mobile, driven by people choosing what they watch and for how long. The quicker your video ad delivers your message and captures attention, the better your chance of people remembering what they see. How will you use video to tell your story?

You need to get your affiliate link and start promoting. You can use any social media. Using any email tool is a choice, but people tend to check social media updates rather than their email these days.

Can you make money with affliate marketing? The short answer is yes, affiliate programs can earn a extra money and even a full-time income from home. The long answer is a little more complicated. any home income venture, success comes not so much from what you choose to do to make money, but whether or not you do what needs to be done correctly and consistently.

Every network offers affiliates a way to filter through the numerous offers presented. Take the time to go through the various categories or search for specific merchants that you think would do well on your site. There’s no set of rules for filtering through the options; you’ll ultimately need to rely upon your familiarity with your audience and your gut feelings about what types of offers will perform.

I am so very glad I found this website and read this post. I am so inexperienced in all this, but I do see that you take a totally different approach to the many others I have read. It is so refreshing. I will go back reread, study and apply.

I agree with it- sort of. I believe that in order to become a successful blogger, that you need to be passionate about your blog. Whether that means that you are passionate about what you’re writing about, you’re passionate about helping people, that you just love blogging, etc., I believe that blogging is a business that needs to be enjoyed. I believe this because there is a LOT that goes into blogging, and it’s not always easy. It’s a continually growing process and a person needs to always be on their toes in order to succeed.

Given the huge impact of Facebook video ads, there are still some limitations. First, The ad’s length is only 15 seconds, which might limit advertisers to convey in-depth content or complicated ideas.

Free advertising — this method involves placing links and advertisements on free websites, like Craigslist or US Free Ads. Whenever someone clicks on your ad, both you and the website (for example, Craigslist) earn money from the clicks.[32]

You’ll notice there are a few options to build your beautiful video. You can upload a video, browse through your library, or create a slideshow with images. In most cases you’ll want to grab a pre-made video from your desktop or promote a video that you previously posted organically.

This metric is a way of summarizing the conversion rate, average ticket price, and commission percentage. It does not take into account the click rate that an offer will receive. So while EPC is certainly a useful stat to consider when evaluating potential affiliate offers, it must be considered alongside the click rate an offer will receive. A great EPC combined with a bad click rate won’t translate to great earnings. (In other words, the highest EPC isn’t necessarily the best offer.)

Most of the blogger or site owner are wanted to earn money by their blog or paid domain. Maximum time people choose affiliate marketing because of this sector has lots of opportunity to earn. But all of them are not follow the appropriate way or may be they do not know the way to do affiliate marketing. In fact i want to say that reading is post they are gain some easy idea to do affiliate marketing and they will be able to earn like you.

Facebook isn’t the only social media site that allows affiliate links. You could also use Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram to make money as an affiliate marketer. But remember, since you don’t technically own your social media accounts, you need to follow the rules each site has regarding affiliate links. And, as a general rule, you shouldn’t only be posting, pinning, or tweeting affiliate links alone. Instead, focus on the quality of content first and only include affiliate links when they add value to the information you’re sharing.

In simple terms affiliate marketing means selling another person’s or company’s products and services. It’s like a referral service. You set up a website or blog and join affiliate programs that are relevant to your audience. You can connect to these programs through affiliate networks that provide you with a link that you include on your site. When someone clicks the link and purchases the product or service you’re marketing, you receive a percentage of the sale proceeds as a commission.

In the world of affiliate marketing, an advertiser can be a company selling a product like electronics, airline tickets, clothing or car parts, or an advertiser also be an insurance company selling policies. The most important thing to remember is that you are an advertiser if you are ready to pay other people to help you sell and promote your business.

With users spending an average time of 50 minutes each day on Facebook (including Instagram and Messenger and excluding WhatsApp as reported by The New York Times), a 360% increase in videos populating everyone’s news feeds represents a significant uptick and trend (AdAge on the increase of number of Facebook videos in news feeds from 2014 into 2015).

Naturally, the number of people who see your ad or respond to it will depend upon many factors. These include your marketing budget and how well you’ve crafted your advertisement. Still, you might as well start with an advantage by directly uploading your videos to Facebook.

This is necessary because of the competitive nature of affiliate marketing and to be able to make money online. Daily, new techniques and methods are developed; you wouldn’t want to be left behind while new trends take over.

Stay in this niche long enough, and you will unknowingly transform from an affiliate marketeer to a provider of services or a product (mark my words!). Then you too shall be trying to find newbies the 5,000+ people who are logged in on Warrior Forum or other places like Digital Point, etc. and be making a comfortable living, in trying to sell ‘stuff’ to these people (mostly genuine stuff but equally balanced by a lot of fraudulently pre-packed BS). And the best part is the newbies are in millions! Millions! Imagine the possibility of duping them!

You don’t need a professional video studio to produce a commercial that looks professional with the various simple video editing tools out there. And adding even basic effects is one of the best ways to increase the conversions and engagement on the videos that you make.

Your life situation might dictate that $200/day is the pinnacle of financial motivation. You can drive yourself to attain this goal, but any further and the motivation begins to slip. That’s a point of diminishing returns. Call it your comfort zone. Any work to advance beyond this point comes with the additional burden of pushing you out of that comfort zone. And so procrastination sets in, along with the dual crippling fears of failure and success.

In order to make money from affiliate marketing, you need to convert a visitor to your site to a paying customer for your merchant partner(s). Obviously, the more visitors you have (i.e., the greater the traffic to your site), the more chances you have to make an affiliate referral.

Nice point 9 was new to me and point 13 is something I think I need to take up. Thanks a lot, looking into reviewAZON but the features aren’t well described on their site… It looks good from what you’ve said on your site though.

This book is just amazing, I have been reading a lot of books trying to get a better understanding of online/internet marketing so I can improve and develop the performance of my company and have better sales. In this book I have learned everything about affiliate marketing, how do they work, their benefits, their risk and other details that you should be aware when you are working with them. Another thing that I like about this book is that all the information written in it, is useful, helpful and it is there for a reason and the author made it easy to understand.

thank you – that’s great. I guess I wasn’t clear either because I am BOOSTING the post – so if I continue to boost the video (original content – my business commercial) wouldn’t FB expose the video to new people?

The niche you choose might draw enough interest from your audience when it comes to reading and acquiring knowledge, but are they willing to buy relevant products too? Without consumer interest in products, your niche isn’t going to make you much money.

According to Digiday, almost 9-in-10 Facebook videos are consumed without sound, a signal that brands should consider producing video content that can still be engaging, even in silence (Facebook). To that point, Facebook found that adding captions to videos increases the watch time by 12%, on average.

I agree here. Since building an email list is necessary and the results is quite impressive. Well! guest posting and seo will take time to reach our goal but yup surely once we build our list, the money is actually list.

Shouldn’t really matter one way or the other frankly. I like a home page design like I have here on this blog because I can send people back to the home page if I want to them to the blog or podcast content more easily.

It is a very good idea to use different product promotion strategies so you can figure out what is working and what is not. Try to do split testing and measure the performance of each campaign then take actions accordingly. Changing a few things here and there can increase your profit dramatically. Make sure to place the banner ads on different areas of your site’s pages. Some positions will make the ads more noticeable than others.

Are you thinking of becoming an affiliate marketer? Confused about how you can launch such a business? If your answer “yes” to both questions, you are at the right place to learn everything you need. The best answer to both questions would be this:

Our Facebook Workshop is suitable for companies keen on learning more about ‘Business to Consumer’ marketing. You will learn how to create Fan Page with interesting topics, images and videos to engage your followers to Like, Comment or Share. Most importantly, you will turn your followers into your paying customers.

The first thing to do is to join an affiliate program then select the products you intend to sell. The owners of the products would provide you with an affiliate code you can use for referring traffic to the main site. Also, you will be offered banners, text links and several forms of creative copies in which you just copy and paste the code on your own site to refer traffic. Any interested customer who clicks on the links from your website will be redirected to the main site where the product is sold and if they pay for the product or subscribe to a program/service and indicate you as the referral, you get a certain percentage as commission.

Within more mature markets, less than one percent of traditional affiliate marketing programs today use cost per click and cost per mille. However, these compensation methods are used heavily in display advertising and paid search.

I have personally been banned from forums like www.warriorforum.com because I specifically challenged all those so called gurus who were selling their work for $97, or $47 or $27 (and made $100,000s from it), to show me proof.

For example, if your current audience is men in their twenties and thirties on the East coast of the United States, but you’d like to see if the same demographic will engage with your content on the West coast — test the new location but keep the gender and age range constant.

Okay, a Facebook user just watched your Video Ad. Now what? What action should follow? You need to guide them towards a specific direction, such as finding more information about your product/service at your website, liking your Facebook page, joining a contest, or anything else you have in mind.

In videos end show a product as you bought it and it was a great product and you can refer your audience the site from which you bought and to make it more appealing by giving them special coupon code, your subscribers will go and check that product and buy if they liked it. That totally depends how convincing you are so that you make them buy that product.

That means a multi-channel approach with a consistent marketing message across all channels. Use your blog, pay-per-click ad campaigns that link to squeeze pages and sales page, market to your email list, comment in forums and on Facebook pages, use social media to build a following and get your message out — maybe even make it go viral, promote with online video… be creative in how you market these affiliate products. Be sure to dial in your marketing efforts to reach your specific target market.

I am so impressed. You have exceeded my expectations for the Boot Camp Digital Class. It was two days of information that I am excited to implement. Your materials, slides, examples and book gave me a clear guide to move forward and make a big impact in my business and future TEDxCincinnati Events. Thank you – you’re amazing! 10 out of 10!!!

​The products and services you will be promoting to your audience must be relevant and good quality. Make sure you believe in them and know everything about them, because this will be crucial to you delivering the sales pitch to your audience. You need to build trust with your audience so make sure the products and services you choose to promote are trustworthy enough.

Once you’ve named your campaign, click on “Continue,” select a new ad set or multiple ad sets, and enter the targeted audience (including age, gender, location and other demographics). You can use a previously saved audience here or save this audience for future use.

He felt the time was slipping away and that his life lacked excitement, travel, and adventure. He regretted not having enough freedom. He missed “the van lifestyle” — he used to be a free spirit before, a wanderer with a backpack.

As I mentioned above, there is no limit to the amount of money you can earn from affiliate programs. It all depends on which program you’re promoting and how many conversion you are making. I started with $47 as my first affiliate income, and now I make almost $4k-5K/month by promoting products which I use every day.

Does affiliate marketing still work, as Google doesn’t allow affiliate links or the promotion of affiliate links. So I can’t create an ad directing to an affiliate link, and I can’t create a landing page (and promoting the landing page), with a single purpose of sending users to the affiliate link. Except RTB platforms and Blog based SEO that takes years to build, how can I do affiliate marketing ?

Thanks… basically I have heard about successful guys making money by affiliating. This was drawing my attention always and today after reading your post you helped me to solve the case behind all of this.

As fasr as I know it doesn’t matter. I haven’t heard of any foliters that can ping your for simultaneously releasing vids ( Like it might if you suddenly released dozens of ARTICLES pointed to a site in a day).

Very glad to help! Thanks for the support. These are the tips and strategies that have worked for me and I’ve found when you put them into practice with consistency they deliver 🙂 And yes, I owe EVERYTHING to WA. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself and seeing if it’s for you. Create your free account through my link in this article and you’ll get to try it free and you’ll also have me as a coach to help you out. Thanks again!

While content consumption is on the up-and-up, it might surprise you to find that the amount of time spent on Facebook per day has actually decreased. The current average amount of time spent on Facebook is 35 minutes per day.

Can you make money with affliate marketing? The short answer is yes, affiliate programs can earn a extra money and even a full-time income from home. The long answer is a little more complicated. Like any home income venture, success comes not so much from what you choose to do to make money, but whether or not you do what needs to be done correctly and consistently.

As to the issues in IL… there are plenty of ways to avoid having your business closed up by an idiotic Governor including like moving your business to a neighboring state that’s actually business friendly. There are ways around the issues and I know I wouldn’t let Amazon shutting the program down in my state stop me. I can’t legally advise you what to do, but I’m just saying there are ways around it.

I eventually learned the best model (for me) was to copy what Yoast did… charge a flat free for SEO Audits. People were always super happy with my audits. I still have my SEO audit templates (one for local SEO, national SEO, etc). Sometimes it would only take me 4 hours to write an audit and I would get $750, sometimes more if they wanted a more thorough audit. Maybe I undercharged?

Amazon’s obviously a really big one. It’s an easy one that a lot of people like to use. So I would start with Amazon if you’re new to affiliate links. The other places I would check would be CJ.com, LinkShare.com, ShareASale.com, and ImpactRadius.com. They’re like the affiliate networks or the houses that house all the different brands inside. So you can find the Wal-Marts and the Targets or whatever inside those networks. So once you get approved for their service, you can just start applying to all those different ones.

I net $100/day working for a corporation 40 hrs/week. I live paycheck to paycheck and would like to add to my income. I often see people claim that they make tons (to me anyway) of money on Amazon/Ebay. I will put your system to the test. I have at least 40 hrs/week that I can dedicate to this process (I’m 55 and need my rest). Thank you, however for posting such a detailed system.

But let’s be totally honest for a minute here. There are millions of blogs out there, and a fraction (I dunno, less than 10%?) of bloggers are earning any money at all. And even fewer are earning full time income. The fact that I was able to join the ranks of “the full time income earning bloggers” just 7 months into blogging is sort of unbelievable. (Only, do believe it, because it happened!)

When I first heard about Facebook’s Ad Images Cheat Sheet, I was admittedly a tad nervous because the piece of content that has long been my biggest content driver is an image dimensions infographic. I worried that Facebook did the same — or even improved upon it.

I’d hardly done anything during the previous year to monetize Location Rebel (then Location 180), but when this was released, I figured “why not?” and wrote a review talking about how cool the program was.

Decide on a model. There are two primary business models that prospective affiliate marketers choose between. The first is a resource site, and the second is a review site. Which model you choose will depend on your familiarity with the products or services you advertise.[1]

That’s right, although you might see YouTubers using much nicer (and expensive equipment) such as Pat Flynn, this is not a requirement. In fact, we highly recommend you use what you have first to decide if using YouTube for affiliate marketing is a strategy you like. If not, then you won’t have wasted any money. As with everything else, I don’t recommend you put time and effort into anything unless you actually enjoy it. Play to your strengths! If it is something you enjoy, though, then you can make an informed decision on what equipment you might want to upgrade to eventually.

great article currently trying to understand affiliate marketing really interested to start my own website not expecting high returns straight away but wants to experience and if possible put some hard work behind it to make it successful,any comments suggestions welcome:)

But, what if you’re not interested in starting a blog or maintaining a website? Does this mean you can’t get a slice of the affiliate marketing pie? Absolutely not! In fact, there are plenty of opportunities to earn money online as an affiliate marketer – no website or blog required.

Affiliate marketing is great to make money in short span of time. You only need few things a loyal readers and rabbit followings of subscribers or followers. Adsense is also good but if you compare adsense income vs affiliate income you feel that affiliate is best.

Reversal rates are generally in the low single digits; it’s standard for about 1% of transactions to be reversed. If you see offers with extremely high reversal rates, that could be a red flag. It doesn’t mean you should necessarily stay away, but it’s worth understanding why so many transactions are returned. For example, there’s something strange going on with this merchant:

Start by asking for recommendations from people you trust. Spy on your favorite influencers’ sites to see what they have to offer. Check each product’s social proof and testimonials and see if they pass the Good Affiliate Product checklist above.

Great post and right on target. I found that if you blog and/or do videos that sharing little stories will help connect you to potential leads. I do how-to videos and posts and I always tell personal stories or my own experiences that relate to the subject. It works and I get personal messages from people about it. It makes you more real and down to earth in the viewer’s eyes. Once they like you and trust you they will become a lead and hopefully a sale. They may very well become a regular buyer because you will be their go to person. For best results it’s best to blog daily and do at least one video a day.

I have a really goid weebly website I made for my business. Does weebly work for amazkn affiliate? Im currently with amazon affiliate but the website I have is HORRIBLE.I want to change to weebly.does weebly cut it with the links and widgets etc? If not, what is a good domain to swap to?

hi, I’m new to this. I have a question. So when you share your Amazon affiliate link and someone clicks on the link and they decide they don’t want to purchase that specific Item, but do buy a different item through your affiliate link, do you get commission? or is that only if you have a website and they purchased though your website?

Note: Requesting an interview is a great way to start getting to know an influencer. After that, just keep nurturing your relationship and building your list. You will probably need 5,000-10,000 subscribers to start gaining attention from the biggest authorities.

Meanwhile, Wyzowl noted that LinkedIn was an often overlooked video advertising channel, and one respondents said delivered results. While just 38% of marketers polled posted video content on LinkedIn, 75% of them thought it to be a successful way of reaching target audiences.

To increase your monetization, ensure that as many people as you can watch your product review video so that you can increase your income. There is only one way of making your video sell, deliver high-quality content in your video and see your YouTube sales swell.

This book starts with the history and benefits of affiliate marketing, but then gets into more beefy parts about various web sites and the work needs to do to make this program work for you. The bullet list format makes it a quick determination what is relevant for what you want to do and what is not.

P.S. My Two FAVORITE Products for January 2018 are 7 Figure Cycle and Inbox Blueprint – check them out next month – while neither is directly related to Youtube marketing, they’re two of my favorite courses that will be released this entire YEAR. they’ll both be available mid January, but they won’t be around in February!

Is it a blog or website? If it’s just a blog, I usually don’t like a homepage blogroll – I prefer an actual page telling you what the website is about (eg. for me it’s just listing all my tutorials). But ya, StudioPress is where I’d go.

Amazon is great way to promote I have promoted amazon products but not had a lot of luck. That is until I started to sell amazon products in a different way. Like a sales page take a look at my post how I do it http://robertbridgen.com/review/index.php/2017/08/15/no-website-no-domain-name-no-problem/ Great advise thanks I have subscribed Robert

I hate that a lot of trainers who deeply care about their clients are struggling financially. They want desperately to help others and have the knowledge to do so. Yet they’re not getting the committed clients in front of them and aren’t making ends meet.

How may niche sites do you have vs. authority sites? What would you estimate is your earings for each catagory on average. I would ecpect that the revenue does varry quite a bit through out the year. Just trying to establish a benchmark to measure against.

If you are that person right now with limited knowledge about how affiliate marketing works then don’t worry, the concept isn’t hard to grasp and in a few minutes time, you’ll have a thorough understanding.

Ben this article pitched in at right time when i started exploring, understanding, dabbling my hands in video making. Yes i do believe that this is always going to be good for marketers provided the kind of content they choose and distribute them at right time.

The major affiliate networks will have thousands of offers available to you. The vast majority of them won’t be appropriate for your site, in the sense that the products or services advertised aren’t relevant to your audience.

I’ve just got to hear about affiliate marketing and am really a newbie to this matter. The post above was so great and helpful for a person like me. I also took a look at locationrebel which seemed very exciting to me. I wonder if those courses and blueprints are still applicable because as far as I’ve seen, the reviews and testimonials all refer to the year 2013. It was the only reason that hold me back from joining the Locationrebel. I would be very thankful if you help me with this matter.

You have lay out the basis and the next step is how to increase your readership. your site ranking, i think that is where new bloggers gave up. thanks for the guide, i believe it will really help bloggers.

There are a few things I could do to promote my website in the hopes of attracting more website visitors. For example, as I was adding content, I’d make sure I was doing at least a little basic search engine optimization (SEO). That’s a fancy way of saying I’d show search engines that my website was full of relevant information, so that they’d display it in the search results when people enter certain weight loss topics. There’s a whole section of free lessons at Affilorama about this topic.

If you are writing online your posts should be brief, clear, checked for spelling and grammar and consistent. Your blog may not have broad appeal if it has limitations in these, so your EBooks and public posts can benefit from a professional proof-reader, or extra classes in English, whether it is your first language or not. Whether you write a blog, a book or anything else, your only tool to deliver your message is language, and you should gain all the skills you can with it. If you don’t have time for this, use the services of someone with the best language skills you can find.

Thanks for the comment, yes I’ve had a lot of great feedback about the theme over the past several months especially when I spend several hundred dollars for a version update and send it out to everyone for free 😀

Before I start explaining the method with you, let me tell the meaning of the requirements, if you are a beginner. I don’t want to make it understandable for pros only, but the real thing is to explain the whole matter to a starter guy to help him making money.

Google Autocomplete – go to google.com, start typing a phrase and look at the dropdown autocomplete results. You can use the underscore character “_” to have Google fill-in-the-blank. Just make sure the last character you type is an underscore. Try using plurals and change the word ordering to see different results. This is how I find 90% of my keywords.

@DanielF, This is not a scam. I’m also a small time publisher on youtube and a simple tutorial on how to delete emails have given me few dollars now. I think YouTube revenue sharing works if you have useful stuff like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyIgyK7-yNc

Writing product reviews are an excellent way to enhance your credibility as an affiliate marketer. This is especially easy with information products like e-books which are relatively inexpensive. After establishing some steady income it may even be worth buying higher-end products, provided you get in touch with the product creator to work out a strategic marketing plan that takes you to the next level.

Are you ready to create your brief and attention-grabbing Facebook Video Ad? If you make this campaign really effective, it will help you build brand awareness and boost the popularity of your business.

I had no idea about the value in social media marketing. Boot Camp Digital opened my eyes to all the free tools available to help promote an agency. As a non-profit organization, this is huge. Thank you!

From all my knowledge and experience I believe the 7-day plan is an old saying now. Everyone is smart enough to know this. One must send e-mails to a prospect addressing as if he is talking to a friend. A person can send more than a single email in a day if his title and content is worth reading.. Else, nice crisp information

People will trust you more. You’re no longer some faceless person writing on a website; instead, you are a living, breathing human being that your audience can see. Even if you only produce short videos, it will be a chance for them to get to know you better.

Videos can be used in all kinds of Facebook ad formats and for a variety of advertising objectives. Whether you’re boosting a post, promoting your Page or collecting leads for your business, you can use video as part of your Facebook, Instagram or Audience Network advertising campaigns. Here’s the full list of advertising objectives where video can be used.

You’ll also now have some experience selling to your subscribers, and you’re beginning to understand what they like and need from you. You’ve found at least one product that’s earning consistently and may also have plans for your own products.

As affiliate marketing has become a multi-billion dollar industry over the past several years, it’s also become increasingly sophisticated. Across the seemingly endless niches are a variety of strategies for generating revenue. With more merchants, offers, and analytics, there’s a lot to the affiliate marketing business.

Anything is fair game in the world of YouTube, so get creative. Your affiliate links will be included in the description below the video, and you can incorporate affiliate links to products and services in a number of ways.

I started using Amazon Affiliate Program. But i am using amazon.in, which means only people from India can buy through my reference link. So what if my visitors from other countries click on that link? They purchase the product, on getting redirected to amazon.com or amazon.co.uk. Is there any way by which I get benefit from users worldwide? Please help. I am too new to this.

Awseme post. I never knew you could partner with youtube. I like how you can slip in branding, a link to your blog and an affliate link at once. I am now currently getting around 40% of my traffic from youtube in non IM markets.

As a new affiliate marketer, you are not obligated to purchase every product you want to promote. However, it goes without saying that actually owning and using the products is huge for establishing credibility and trust. Intimate knowledge of the product can mean the difference between making the sale and having prospects move elsewhere.

Writing product reviews are an excellent way to enhance your credibility as an affiliate marketer. This is especially easy with information products like e-books which are relatively inexpensive. After establishing some steady income it may even be worth buying higher-end products, provided you get in touch with the product creator to work out a strategic marketing plan that takes you to the next level.

If creating written content isn’t your strong suit, consider starting a YouTube channel you could use as an affiliate marketing platform. Some of the most successful YouTubers earn millions of dollars each year using a combination of sponsored videos, affiliate sales, and advertisements.

Research long-tail keywords to target. If you are selling a weight-loss product, the phrase “weight loss” will pair you with tons of competition. Instead, break your topic down into more specific phrases like “lose weight in two weeks” or “lose weight for wedding.”

When the viewers like what they see, they will click on the video. At this point, you mustn’t shock them with loud, nerve-wracking soundtrack, unless you think your target audience would fall for that effect. If there is a voice presenting your products and services, it has to be pleasant, authoritative, and clear.

But let’s be totally honest for a minute here. There are millions of blogs out there, and a fraction (I dunno, less than 10%?) of bloggers are earning any money at all. And even fewer are earning full time income. The fact that I was able to join the ranks of “the full time income earning bloggers” just 7 months into blogging is sort of unbelievable. (Only, do believe it, because it happened!)

I am wanting to become an Amazon affiliate but unfortunately live in Illinois so it seems it is not to be. I was searching the web for answers and came across Viglinks. Do you have any thoughts or experience with this? It seems like a simple way to do affiliates and I know they take a percentage of your commission. It looks like they link every affiliate they are joined with so I’m not sure that’s the best but I don’t know of any other way to get around the Amazon thing.

Given the huge impact of Facebook video ads, there are still some limitations. First, The ad’s length is only 15 seconds, which might limit advertisers to convey in-depth content or complicated ideas.

Look for new products that you think you can market online. Browse through various affiliate sites. Look for new businesses that have recently welcomed affiliates and, if they’re offering something you think you can market well, partner up with them.

Affiliate marketing is totally a new concept for me but after reading your article its quite clear that how we can publish ads on other websites on our own blog and earn money with affiliate marketing. Need some more updates on those and will read your future posts too. Once again thanks @Harsh for sharing such blog!!

Also one note you should make that I don’t give any guarantee of profit. You can generate even $1000 a day or $0 per day with this. If you work smart, then you’ll profit for sure. So read it carefully.

Superb many people try with Blogging but after sometime they leave because sometimes they won’t get ads and sometime no revenues even after doing very hard job, they must read this article so that they come to know Adsense ads are not the only way to get earned via blog, this is superb info, I admire.

Really tough to say because the quality of your traffic matters. If you had a product review website the conversion should be higher. If it’s a general website and you just happen to have some Amazon links thrown up – well that’s going to get lower conversions.

First, put the good stuff into the first 5-10 seconds. As the chart above highlights, viewership begins dropping with each additional second that passes after this. Whatever you want the maximum number of viewers to see should go into the very beginning of your video.

The easiest and most common way to start building an audience for a website via social media. Depending on your niche and industry, you can choose from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and several other niche and location-specific networks. Building up an engaged and interested following on social media is a great opportunity to build relationships and once you have their trust, promote your products and services to them.

You need to get your affiliate link and start promoting. You can use any social media. Using any email tool is a choice, but people tend to check social media updates rather than their email these days.

Formerly Buy.com, Rakuten.com has grown into a monster. Rakuten ranks among the top three e-commerce companies in the world with over 90,000 products from 38,500 shop owners and more than 18 million customers. Among its numerous online properties, its flagship B2B2C (business-to-business-to-consumer) model e-commerce site Rakuten Ichiba is the largest e-commerce site in Japan and among the world’s largest by sales.

It makes sense to launch a YouTube channel in conjunction with a website. This gives you more options for monetization rather than simply depending on on-page conversions from links in the description.

This graph in Page Insights will show the level of user interest in different parts of a video. A spike in the views at certain points will indicate interest at particular moments, whereas a decline will showcase the part of the video where people stopped watching.

Also, spend a little bit of time on your on page SEO for these review posts. My golf site hadn’t been around very long, but after becoming one of the first people to review a brand new product, I jumped way up in the rankings for terms related to them. So make sure your headlines have keywords that people would actually be searching for.

Disclosure: Please note that links to merchants mentioned within this post might be using an affiliate link which means that – at zero cost to you – I might earn a commission if you buy something through that affiliate link. That said, I never recommend anything I don’t personally use and find to be a valuable asset to my business.

Brands have experienced notable success by publishing Facebook videos—especially “native” Facebook videos (as opposed to links from YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, or video content published on other platforms)—according to research conducted by analytics firm eMarketer.

Very nice article! Affiliate marketing is perfect for bloggers as long as they offer quality content and are upfront about it. If people are willing to donate money to YouTubers via Patreon, why wouldn’t they buy something that they want or need through the site or blog of someone that offers them great content and support his or her efforts? It’s a win – win kind of deal.

Very easy my dear friend, I think reading this article, any body can make money online. So the basic idea of this whole article was -affiliate marketing through email list. Another method that is totally working and i am able to generate an average 20-50$ per days is just post proper review on any popular system and fully optimize that so that that review can rank higher in search results. This method will generate endless affiliate income for you.

Hey Tom, thanks for this tutorial – it’s a good thing to get a tutorial like this from a trusted person like you and not from the thousands of (sometimes) confusing articles about passive income/affiliate marketing/clickfunnels and what not that I come across from time to time, I am making a living as a web designer and I have been thinking of pivoting from design and creative work to focus on passive income but didn’t know where to start. This is the perfect foundation article I have seen so far and I ‘d like to ask if you have any further reading/guides/videos on affiliate marketing that you’d recommend. I like to do my deep research before starting 🙂 One more thing, there are some broken or missing images in this article, it could be my browser but check from your side too because there are quite a few images (e.g your Mercedes) that are missing. Thanks

Hi Warren. The best thing to do in your situation is to simply break the process down into steps—like the steps laid out here. Make it your goal to take on one thing at a time, then tackle it as quickly as possible.

So, I have an iPhone 8. I do not have my own computer, however I do have access to libraries of course so I could use a library computer if that’s is the best option. Can affiliate marketing be accomplished on a phone? Until a personal computer is acquired?

Good information about affiliate marketing Carly. I’m still collecting the way to make money by joining an affilite site. Would you like to give your opinion, what is the best affiliate site according to your experience?

I’ll use MoneySavingExpert.com as an example again. The site has over 154,000 likes on its Facebook page and it connects with the audience by sharing links to content but also asking money-saving/budgeting related questions. The highly engaged readers then visit the website, where they read content and no doubt make purchases.

Great graphic!! There is an online affliate marketing business opportunity that seems to be pretty comprehensive. They manage all of the affliate merchants for me and I leverage an online portal to send customers through. And I can link that portal to my blogs, facebook page, twitter, etc. They manager over 3,000 partner stores and it seems to be growing everyday. Pretty cool so far. I love to shop online so this was a great business opportunity for me. And they have their own brokered products too. I think affliate marketing is just going to keep growing as businesses go from brick mortar to click and order!

In 2006, the most active sectors for affiliate marketing were the adult gambling, retail industries and file-sharing services.[17]:149–150 The three sectors expected to experience the greatest growth are the mobile phone, finance, and travel sectors.[17] Soon after these sectors came the entertainment (particularly gaming) and Internet-related services (particularly broadband) sectors. Also several of the affiliate solution providers expect to see increased interest from business-to-business marketers and advertisers in using affiliate marketing as part of their mix.[17]:149–150

The first thing to do is to join an affiliate program then select the products you intend to sell. The owners of the products would provide you with an affiliate code you can use for referring traffic to the main site. Also, you will be offered banners, text links and several forms of creative copies in which you just copy and paste the code on your own site to refer traffic. Any interested customer who clicks on the links from your website will be redirected to the main site where the product is sold and if they pay for the product or subscribe to a program/service and indicate you as the referral, you get a certain percentage as commission.

Perfect thank you 🙂 I’m really hoping to make the little bit of money I need from my blog and really think affiliate marketing is key. I have started but early days and low earnings so need the advice thanks for sharing 🙂

​The products and services you will be promoting to your audience must be relevant and good quality. Make sure you believe in them and know everything about them, because this will be crucial to you delivering the sales pitch to your audience. You need to build trust with your audience so make sure the products and services you choose to promote are trustworthy enough.

Note that merchants reaching out to establish direct relationships with affiliates will only focus on the “whales” who generate the most revenue. While it’s possible to run a few affiliate marketing relationships directly, opening up this benefit to everyone quickly becomes overwhelming.

I would like to add that for information products, a lot of the time it’s pretty easy to rank for “information product review”. I recently did a review of a popular ebook that is a month long discipline program. I went about it by doing the actual program and documenting everything. At the end of the month I wrote up a 2700 word article summing up the whole experience.

This is the most important step in creating a successful YouTube channel. This does not mean, however, that you need a professional video editing studio and a $5,000 camera. While it is important to have clear and well edited audio and video, the most important aspect of these videos is the actual content itself. Providing a high quality, detailed and honest review of a product can be the determining factor of whether or not someone will purchase that product.

In other words, you can start monetizing your blog with affiliate sales, using the experience to generate revenue and learn what your audience will buy, then pivot to your own products with a much greater confidence in your product focus and your subscribers’ willingness to buy.

It takes courage and a special kind of personality to become an affiliate marketer. Some people never take action and just do it. For some, it’s a bit of extra income, while others choose adventure over routine and master the art of online affiliate marketing so they can rock this business while backpacking through the Andes.

The best way to integrate affiliate links is when you are reviewing a product. The viewers always like factual product reviews, and they usually pay attention to it before buying that product. The affiliate link added below the video takes them to the website where they are going to get their desired product.

Facebook, and its advertising revenue streams, are not going anywhere. The real question marketers should be asking themselves: will this interruption-style format negatively impact brand perception? Brands need to be careful. Advertisers shouldn’t jump on the in-stream video bandwagon without taking some important steps to avoid risking backlash or negative consumer perception.

Mention products in your articles or blog posts, and use the affiliate code to link out to each product. Use your articles to subtly convince readers that these products or services are worthwhile. Do not sell too hard.

Link clocking: Most of the affiliate tracking links are ugly. Using a link clocking technique like URL shorteners, Thirsty Affiliates, etc., you can turn ugly links into links that can be read and understood by your readers.

Review your account settings on every website. If you belong to a forum or discussion group that requires you to register for an account, you may be able to take advantage of a signature box in which you can post affiliate links. You can choose to display the signature box each time you reply to or write a post on the website.

Still haven’t made any money on my aforementioned website I was talking about above. However, I started another website and I AM making money with that. Two very different niches lol. The one I am making money with will HAVE to be a higher amount eventually, but I am happy to be making money at all because I have tried this whole affiliate thing for years and never made ANY money. So selling $300 worth of stuff and making $35 makes me ecstatic lol

In 1996, Jeff Bezos, CEO and founder of Amazon.com, popularized this idea as an Internet marketing strategy. Amazon.com attracts affiliates to post links to individual books for sale on Amazon.com, or for Amazon.com in general, by promising them a percentage of the profits if someone clicks on the link and then purchases books or other items. The affiliate helps make the sale, but Amazon.com does everything else: They take the order, collect the money and ship the book to the customer. With over 500,000 affiliate Web sites now participating, Amazon.com’s program is a resounding success.

They also have the advantage that the merchant is often an individual rather than a company, so you can build a personal relationship with them that will increase your status as a blogger and future success as an affiliate.

The Bag of Dicks Affiliate may continue to prosper, or complacency may bite him in the arse, but he’ll always be a bag of dicks as long as he judges others for how happy they should be with their income.

This article has taken me several hours to create and edit so I’d love to hear your feedback. Please let me know what you think of my tips by posting in the comments below. As always, because I love my readers I respond to each and every question that comes in so get to it!

I am a newbie in affiliate marketing and I want to have my own passive income by creating my very first website and this book has shown me a lot when it comes to affiliate marketing tips. The book has a detailed step by step guide to be a successful affiliate website but it will not show you how to create a website which is a very different topic. But overall this book has offered me important points when it comes to marketing online.

Create custom alerts on your phone for affiliate sales – if you use GMail, go to your settings and create a filter so all emails with “SiteGround Affiliate Sale Generated” in the subject line go into their own folder (tweak the subject line to match whatever email notification your affiliate sends Then setup a custom alert on your phone using the GMail app so anytime you generate a sale, you get a custom alert (here’s a tutorial for Android and here’s one for Apple). I have different notifications for SiteGround, StudioPress Themes, etc. Makes your day better 🙂

In affiliate marketing, one task that cookies manage is to remember the link or ad the visitor to a website clicks on. Cookies can also store the date and time of the click, they can even be used to remember what kind of websites or content you like most. There are many different types of web cookies and uses, but the kind of cookie affiliate marketing relies on is called a first-party cookie.

When we created a bold TV concept perfect for socialization and participation, Facebook and Instagram provided the ideal platforms to vastly extend the reach of our video and our audience’s excitement.

Wouldn’t it be nice to never have an awkward sales meeting again? Imagine a sales meeting starting with, “I’ve heard great things about you, how do I start?” as opposed to, “so I got this coupon and figured I’d give it a shot”.

Velocity Black immediately hooks you — in this case, transporting the viewer to “the edge of space.” The visuals are stunning; the mood is epic. In case you’re tempted to scroll past, Velocity rapidly shifts to its next adventure scene, swimming with orcas in Norway, followed by a heli ski trip over volcanoes. The scenes absorb the viewer in adventure before you’re able to look away.

Create an unpublished Page post. child_attachments is an array of link objects. On each link object, picture, name and description are optional. You can post these as by the Page only with a Page access token.

HubPages is a popular revenue-sharing site. Users create ‘Hubs’ that are filled with useful content, videos, polls, and other category-focused information. There are hundreds of topics to choose from, ranging from art and design to weather, making HubPages a great option to try your hand at affiliate marketing in a subject you’re familiar.

An example of an exclusive blog post for PHC members only is one I wrote this week about the new Facebook Page Plugin. You may not have heard, but the Like Box is going away. This is no small deal as the Like Box on my site has led to 1,259 new fans in 2015 alone.

For me I would choose a program with Recurring commission. You can build a real passive income. Its the best way to go! One suggestion is contact companies who sell services and ask if you can sell their service for them.
